I have been dreaming of getting one of Meghan’s wall hangings. If I don’t win at least I have a beautiful wallpaper. I am a weaver myself and could never capture the softness and texture that she makes look so simple.

Ahhhh! Meghan Shimek is my all time favorite weaver and has been such an inspiration to me in my own weaving journey. This one is definitely my favorite- her simple, classic style full of beautiful texture and timehttps://www.instagram.com/p/1oPBRHzEIH/?taken-by=meghanshimek

I love the white one with the rainbow band in the middle!!! Megan has been a long time favorite of mine on Instagram! So much weaving envy!!!! Would love to have one of her pieces to show off in my studio.

When I first saw this piece, I was going through a really difficult time and had been following Meghan for a bit to know she was (and is) the roving queen. This new form of installation art evoked an emotion inside of me that I didn’t expect but understood the more and more I looked into it. The way this piece in particular uses something so soft and easily destroyed to form a comforting structure of transformation and beauty was exactly the symbolism I needed for the time of my life that I was going through. It brought a tear to my eye and that’s when I decided that everything would be just fine and art rules for helping me decipher that. https://instagram.com/p/_KOutyzEEF/

I saw it in person and not on instagram! The weaving for sale in Temescal Alley. I was in town visiting friends and fell in love as soon as I laid eyes on the work.(I actually sent a photo to my boss because we had been discussing fiber art.)

Using the act of weaving as a form of meditation is something I never even considered before until now. Look how peaceful that must be! I love the enormous scale and the simplicity of the white.https://www.instagram.com/p/5-WsmbzEK3/

There are so many!!! Huge fan of wall weavings. Just bought myself a mini loom myself to teach myself! This was the one I ended up choosing out of my “finalists”:https://www.instagram.com/p/x7ghtozEF7/

From what I understood, it wasn’t meant to look like this in the first place, but as it is on this picture, I am just stunned! I would love to win this, perhaps unfinished, piece, to add some warmth into my rather minimalistic decor. It would fit perfectly! https://www.instagram.com/p/6iU6orTEHZ/?taken-by=meghanshimek

this one I love.. makes me want to cover all my walls with weavings. I keep seeing them in target and other big stores but they never look like the picture on the box. this however is stunning!! : ) https://www.instagram.com/p/0BO3JRzEKY/
